Release bearing noise?

Posted By : Andrew Parry, 08-Jun-2005, 03:53pm

Dear all,
Maybe I'm being a little neurotic now that my car is back together again and I am noticing things that I
wouldn't have bothered about before but there is a slight whirring noise when the clutch is engaged which
disappears when a light pressure is applied to the clutch pedal - presumably enough to bring the bearing into
contact with the clutch but not enough to disengage it. The release bearing is new as is the gearbox and driven
plate. The noise is most noticable when idling in neutral. The clutch and gearbox are behaving perfectly otherwise.
I didn't renew the release arm assembly or any other bits as there didn't seem to be any reason to.
Any suggestions?
Andy.
